"Australian café form done right: flat whites poured with proper latte art, brunch worth crossing the common for. Coffee holds its own in a room that fills up for the food."
16 Clapham Common South Side, London SW4 7AB, UK
Union Hand-Roasted on the grinder, single origins on the menu, tasting notes that mean something. The family behind it knows what they're pouring.
Clapham's busiest brunch spot runs a more serious coffee programme than the food-first reputation signals. Own-label beans, a rotating single origin, two guest slots, and retail at the counter.
Filter coffee on the menu and latte art that regulars keep specifically calling out. If you're heading to the Common, this is the right stop.
